Hey someone  edited the recipe to emerald block and now it says it uses 6 emerald and 1 arrow to one emerald block [[Special:Contributions/189.122.103.167|189.122.103.167]] 21:38, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

== Name ==

I was playing around and I put them in the crafting table. Before they said emerald but after i put them in the crafting table their name changed diamond. It seems like a bug but does anyone else have this problem? [[User:Killrbladez|Killrbladez]] 21:57, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

== Diamonds called emeralds in code = false ==

Diamonds are not technically called "emeralds" in Minecraft's original source code as it is when you buy it.
They are called something like "ccb" or otherwise, because the code is obfuscated.

The mistake of calling diamonds Emeralds in the code is the people who did Minecraft Coder Pack. If I remember correctly Notch didn't tell us how to de-obfuscate the code nor did he provide an answer key, so for all we know the code he originally made (pre-obfuscation) could have called diamonds "thoseShinyBlueThings". (not that it did, we just don't know for sure)

== Coincidence? ==

There is a world in the iconic video game Sonic the Hedgehog 2 called 'Emerald Hill Zone', and emeralds are only found naturally in Extreme Hills biomes.<br>

===Why Rubies are gone===


I bet they got confused with redstone (there red like redstone). But if there is an official reson, contact me.
- [[User:Ogre Pikmin|Ogre Pikmin]]

Apparently, it is due to Dinnerbone being red-green colorblind, but this seems wrong (changing a red object to a green object to help a person who can't tell the difference is quite strange). [[Special:Contributions/121.127.214.223|121.127.214.223]] 07:51, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

:This is kind of ancient, but I'll explain my thoughts anyway.
:I'm pretty sure it's because it might be difficult to tell the difference from a distance. It would be easy to mix up redstone and ruby from a good few blocks away. Bad for cavers. - [[User:MinecraftPhotos4U|MinecraftPhotos4U]] ([[User talk:MinecraftPhotos4U|talk]]) 08:23, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

== Somthing Weird With Emeralds ==

While i was on Mushroom island and i was mining i found ores of emerlads.Then i installed Xray and saw there are emerald ores And they only spawn in Extreme hills.And its weird Idk. 


P.S Noone was on that island before me so its not edited. [[Special:Contributions/109.245.112.244|109.245.112.244]] 15:18, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

== Trivia: Strong resemblance to Legend of Zelda rupees ==

Don't really know how intentional it is, but emerald show a great resemblance to the rupees of the Legend of Zelda franchise:
*rupees are the currency in loz; emeralds are used for trading in mc;
*the most common rupees are green; the emeralds are green;
*the the shapes seem related

When I try and mine for emeralds I never find any emeralds, only gold, diamonds and iron? What are some good mining tips?[[Special:Contributions/80.189.26.130|80.189.26.130]] 16:20, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

== A Stub? ==

why is this page listed as a stub? seems like it has enough content, so... can someone either kill the stub, or tell me why it's listed?

== Trivia section? ==

There should be some peculiarities about emeralds, right? I mean, I think if we add a trivia section this article shouldn't be a stub any more. Any ideas? What about "it is the only mineral ore that cannot be used for crafting anything other than a block of itself."? <small>–Preceding unsigned comment was added by [[Special:Contribs/115.241.43.13|115.241.43.13]] ([[User talk:115.241.43.13|talk]])&#32;13:19, 3 March 2014(UTC).

:Trivia sections are generally a sign of a  substandard article, and should not be added just to pad an article out to some perceived "long enough" length. Trivia should instead either be incorporated properly into the rest of the article - if it is actually noteworthy - or simply omitted.
:Also note that an article's length is not the only determiner of whether it's a stub; even very short articles can be considered not a stub if they are well-written and say everything worth saying about their subject. <span style="white-space:nowrap">「[[User:Dinoguy1000|<span style="color:#00f">ディノ</span><span style="color:#080">奴</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Dinoguy1000|<span style="color:#F90">千？！</span>]]」<sup>[[wikipedia:Help:IJP|?]] · [[User talk:Dinoguy1000#top|☎ Dinoguy1000]]</sup></span> 17:54, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

== (Not)Only in Extreme Hills ==

I was on minecraft today, and I saw an emerald while mining. I pressed f3 to see what biome I was in, and it was the plains biome. Was there an update so emeralds spawn in other biomes?

== Emeralds are not rare at all... ==

You can say "'''Emeralds''' are one of the rarest materials in ''[[Minecraft]]'' until you found a village." <br />
:Reason: Sometimes you can sell REALLY cheap stuff like [[wheat]] to villagers, in quantity of 1 emerald. By the way, you can quickly make money (Even the trade was locked you can still trade other stuff to unlock it). <br />

== Another Oddball Place ==

I found a couple around a river of Lava in a deep cave that kind of sits on the border between a Desert and a Jungle.

== Someone add "time to mine" table to this. ==

I just wasted an Emerald, because for some reason, a Golden Pickaxe can't mine Emeralds.


Actually, is there a page saying what kinds of things each pickaxe can or can't mine? [[User:RagnarokStravius|RagnarokStravius]] ([[User talk:RagnarokStravius|talk]]) 07:39, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

:The breaking time table here doesn't make much sense as the page is about the emerald item, but you can find it in [[Emerald Ore]]. [[Golden pickaxe]]s mine the same blocks as [[wooden pickaxe]]s. You can read more information about [[Tiers]] or check the sortable table at [[Pickaxe#Speed]].--[[User:Capopanzo|Capopanzo]] ([[User talk:Capopanzo|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Capopanzo|contribs]]) 13:11, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
